Unofficial Tex Murphy

I remember all this. I think this occurred back in around 2000. Yeah, I think we got a little too eager and ticked Mr. Fries off Back then, I was actually in a Yahoo chatroom and talking to a guy who claimed to work in the Microsoft Games development division. I started talking to him about Tex and he goes:

microsoft guy: oh hang on...isn't that the adventure game that people want produced?

Me: YEAH YEAH!!! You know it? It would be so awesome if you guys worked on it.

Microsoft Guy: you've gotta be kidding? Those games sucked, there's no room on the market for them.

Me: [this is where I start to get a bit silly] Oh man...but it's Tex....with a capital T

Microsoft Games: do you know how many games we're producing each year and how little time we have for crap like that?

Me: But you could make spin-offs from Tex...like Louie's Interactive Recipe CD-ROM Extravagansa!

Microsoft Guy: WTF? That's it, you're blocked!

And that's the last I heard of him. Whether or not he was actually from Microsoft is another story...but it was still very very funny nevertheless. I wish he hadn't have blocked me.

Fans are supposed to be nuts. Crazy. That's what fandom is. How could they not know this? Have they ever seen HALO cosplayers? So anything any of you did inherently can not be wrong.

By claiming that Tex sucked he was the kind of person who prefer style over content. Definitely a Charlie Chaplin-fan. (As opposed to a Laurel & Hardy-fan)
